Improving the perception of occupational performance in Parkinson’s disease through Assessment of Client’s Enablement: A case study

Abstract

The Assessment of Client’s Enablement (ACE) was used for a patient with Parkinson’s disease who had a high perception of their occupational performance skill. The ACE results confirmed a high gap score between the occupational therapist (OT) and the client (CL). The OTs availed themselves to the video of occupational performance for feedback and discussion to reduce the gap in occupational performance. Through this process, the OT and CL were able to collaborate with each other. Focusing on the difference in the perception of occupational performance may be useful for effective collaboration.
